Question

Julius playing in a baseball tournament and scored 24 points in her first game if she averages over 20 points for both games she will receive a trophy how many points can Julie score in the second game and receive a trophy solve it as a inequality

Answer 1

to average 20 points in 2 games she needs a total of 20*2 = 40 points

she scored 24 so she needs 40-24 = 16 points in her second game

the question says she needs over 20 points so she should score at least 17 to be over

inequality x+24>40
